Coming up a week from tomorrow, on Saturday, June 6, the Shelby County Ducks Unlimited Chapter will have its 22nd annual Green Wing event.

Committeeman Clint Tanner says DU's youth group is a great way to pass along the mission of Ducks Unlimited to the next generation.

Tanner says there'll be prizes for all kids, as well as Texas Parks & Wildlife Game Wardens on hand to provide hunter safety tips, a gun safety demonstration from Collin Matthews, as well as the Shelby County Jr. Bass Anglers. He adds Mike Hudman with Black Water Retrievers has a dog demonstration, plus other events, including a free hot dog meal.

Tanner notes Green Wing began two decades ago as a way for kids to enjoy the outdoors, and has led to leadership roles of the local DU chapter.

The Shelby County DU Green Wing event is for all kids' up to 17 years. Registration fee is $15, and starts at 9:30 a.m. next Saturday, June 6 at Weldon Boles' property, off Hwy. 96 south, down Old City Lake Road, 245 County Road 1006 outside Center. Tanner reminds kids to bring their fishing pole.
